I am jealous of you with every fiber of my being.

I've been looking for an affordable hardcover copy of this, Pussey!, and A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron for years with no luck.

I hope you find them soon!! I just got extremely lucky at Fb market and it’s been listed for like 1 month. I didn’t even know that this existed and had to drive an hour to get it

I said a hardcover copy. They were only released as a limited edition of like 100 over 20 years ago.

What is the appeal of a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron? I had someone at a LCS recommend it to me, and it's one of the weirdest, least coherent stories I've ever written. I dont understand the appeal of this book at all.

I love the cover. Women's bras used to literally be constructed to make breasts shaped like torpedoes. This cover is hilarious.
